A Nathan Redmond goal was enough to give England a 1-0 win on that occasion, but boss Gareth Southgate is expecting another difficult challenge.

"Wales will be a really good challenge for us," he said.

"They showed enough in the last game in terms of their speed on the counter attack and were resilient defensively.

"They’ve got some good footballers, some of who have had good spells with their clubs since the game in March, so we’re under no illusions that this will be a big test and probably our toughest game in the group.

"We’ll have to be at our very best and I’m looking forward to seeing one or two new lads come in and take that challenge."

Wales manager Chris Coleman will be at the fixture, and under 21 boss Geraint Williams said it is a good opportunity for his young players to showcase their talent.

"We certainly aim to try and go one better. Against England, the team defended well, but this time, we need to use the ball better and to take any opportunities that come our way," he said.

"England’s squad has some changes, but they still have plenty of players with experience, but we need to look at our players firstly and make sure they are ready to go-out an represent Wales to the best of their ability and try and win the game.

"Chris needs good youngsters to come-through and he has shown that if they are good enough, he will put them-in."
